Albania vs Romania

[Aurora Bulkualis]

We need a new CF badly. 2 games, 0 goals. 7 goals in qualifiers, 5 against Armenia. Still can't believe we're stuck with Sadiku/Cikalleshi/Balaj. Our defence isn't world class, but from today's lineup 3/4 defenders play regularly in Top leagues and Agolli plays regularly in EL. Cika and Balaj are subs, Sadiku plays with a bottom feeder team in a mediocre league.

As much as I like Hysaj, a RB is probably the most useless position right now for us. FSHF needs to use that 12 million euros to revamp youth systems to be more attack minded. Talk with clubs, bring in foreign youth coaches, invest in infrastructure, and sell striker to Italian or Bliga academies while still young.

Seriously guys like Bogdani that could get 10+ goals in Serie A are a pipe dream at this point. That's how much we've declined, attacking wise.

^ Manaj, Avdijaj, Ajeti. One of these guys could become the CF we need.

I don't understand how Albania can still qualify? They are out.

Try to win this game nonetheless obviously. This 10 defenders and one forward shit isn't working. They need to just risk it and try to work the ball, otherwise I see them getting out classed like they did against Iceland a few years ago.

You don't want to go home with 0 wins.... 0 points.... or even worse.. zero goals.

They throw that "7 goals" in the qualifiers at Albania a lot. But there was no Pot 6 team to smash on. And one game was cancelled. It could've looked a lot better if Albania was in a regular 6 team group.

I know the forwards stink, but Sadiku in particular impressed me, especially considering that he's relying on defensive midfields and fullbacks to set him up.

As far as Hysaj and the RB being the most useless position.... good players are good players, regardless of their position. He proves that there is no "least important role". He's terrific in many aspects and made the best passes. And does his job as a RB and some. You can only hope anybody else on this team can do their job at their position.

How are we still holding hope? What makes anyone think that we are better than Romania? We will lose this game as we should as we are no good. Who the hell you think will score? All our goals have been luck after luck. Well, luck has run out. Time to work hard to win. It may be a surprise to DB but goals win games

Wooow so nuch negativity. I am the first to criticise the team when they are poor but they have given ao much in both games. Abrashi, Sadiku, Hysaj and Ajeti especially have left everything out on the pitch.

As for the striker, Sadiku has been amazing. Top notch.

We will qualify, have a bit of belief.

[Dallku]

Only good thing about Sadiku is the runs he makes and his work ethic. Other than that his hold up play and technique is so shit. He can't hold the ball for 2 seconds and give the team a breather.

Maybe it's time to play Cikalleshi against Romania and bring on Gashi in the 2nd half. Sadiku must be too tired at this point anyway..

I want to see this against Romania

Berisha
Hysaj-Ajeti-Mavraj-Agolli
---Roshi---Abrashi---Kace----Xhaka---Lenjani
Cikalleshi


Memushaj if Abrashi is tired
Don't mind if Aliji gets a turn over Agolli
Ajeti(if healthy) over Cana but I know that's not realistic

[Albo_eagle]

Never. Dropping Sadiku, a player who has given his life at this tournament, would be fatal by De Biasi. Watch him as we conceded against France, he was on the floor devastated. I was not his biggest fan before the Euros but a huge credit to him, i absolutely love him now.

Yeah i too do not understand why so much negativity in this forum... Why would any1 critisize sadiku he has worked so hard hes strong and (can hold up play) unlike wat ledzep said. Wtf is sadiku gonna do with no support from the team up front. We will have a more attacking formation against romania and i have a feeling we will win. Honestly i dont want to see another striker start ahead of sadiku cus this game the striker will actually have alot of support upfront. Then we'll have to listen to ppl in here whining about db how he started sadiku in the games b4. Smh.

[Princ]

Sadiku is a more physical/less finesse version of salihi

[Princ]

He sucks with the ball on his feet and can't hold up play at all but he has def made me a fan by how hard he has worked these last 3-4 games
